Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 04/11/2017 6:52 pm Yes, it does look French. This type would be made from 1692 to 1705, with the date being located at the top left of the last picture; however, I cannot read the last digit (169-something). It appears that the letter in the middle is an A, which seems to eliminate that last digit being a 4, 7, or 8. I an not sure what the difference between the coins in these two links are (or which yours is), but here are two links: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19922.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces37829.html Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5174 Posts	Posted 04/11/2017 11:29 pm The date looks like 1697 to me (at least, if it's where you say it is). EDIT: no, I'm pretty sure the last digit is a 7, sorry. And if it's not a 7 it's a 4, but 7 is more likely. (Could be 1 too, but that doesn't fit the type, assuming you guessed correctly.) I think I'm seeing some details that don't belong though... was it overstruck? Edited by january1may 04/11/2017 11:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
